Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said she’s “done” with the Republican Party, which she said has turned into the “America LAST” party.
Her comments came after right-wing commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he was done with the party after voting Republican his entire life.
On the other hand it teaches them that there are no consequences for their actions. And sure, if it’s about a personal acquaintance going through issues I’m all for it but we are not talking about people looking to change their ways- they’re still the same bigoted fascists that they were before, they’re just shopping around for another Klan chapter to join because this one didn’t pay well enough. That’s not people you want to associate with, I’m getting Coriolanus vibes. Careful who you bring into your fold.
I’m more so after the people she will influence. If it’s signaled to them that changing their views is a bad idea then they are less likely to. Also I’m not looking for miracles, cracks and division in the party are also useful.
There have absolutely been consequences for their actions. Its just that people dont get “what they deserve” they just get what they get. The universe doesnt balance automatically for your idea of morals. Us humans are special cause we can enact consequences that the universe didnt. Hopefully we get there for them but that will be on those that can when we can. This isnt the time for getting lost to it.
